AudioRoute 0.2.2 — smarter upgrade flow + robustness pass

What's new in 0.2.2:
• Smart upgrade signal — when AudioRoute updates while you've got a DAW open with the plug-in already loaded, the plug-in window now shows a banner ("AudioRoute 0.2.2 is installed — restart your DAW") and the tray names which host needs restarting. Replaces the previous post-install dialog that occasionally false-positived on Steinberg helper processes (the "Cubase running" prompt some saw on Macs without Cubase — apologies, that's fixed).
• Cubase 15 added to recognized hosts (12 and 11 too).
• Windows installer politely warns before replacing the plug-in while a DAW is open, instead of silently scheduling a reboot.
• Improved logging and diagnostics
• Defensive error handling across daemon, tray, and plug-in.

If you have a DAW open when you update, restart it once to load the new plug-in. After 0.2.2 the new version will signal that itself.

AudioRoute 0.2.3 just shipped (Mac + Windows).

What's in it:
- Fixed: garbled audio when capturing from the AudioRoute Input device while an AR Capture plug-in is loaded on a mono track. Symptoms: 2× speed-up, choppy audio, gaps in the waveform. Affected Audacity, OBS, Acoustica — anything reading the virtual device — plus the built-in menubar/tray recorder. The plug-in itself was unaffected.
- macOS 14.2+ support (was 14.5+). Sonoma 14.2 is the actual minimum the Core Audio process-tap API requires; the previous 14.5 was just over-conservative. Installer now refuses sub-14.2 cleanly so nobody ends up with a half-installed product on Ventura.
- Fixed: Windows first-launch crash. Clicking Skip or Get Started on the welcome window could trigger a use-after-free.
- Better error messages for failed recordings. When the menubar recorder can't open the WAV file (folder permissions, iCloud offload, disk full, etc.), you now get a real reason in a dialog instead of a silent failure.

Small 0.2.4 update just went out for AudioRoute (Mac + Windows).
What changed:
• The plug-in editor now shows trial/license state directly in the DAW — previously that info only lived in the menu-bar tray, which could get hidden behind the DAW window
• Cleaner license-activation flow — dialog dismisses reliably, doesn't re-fire when the DAW triggers plug-in events
• Ableton-specific stability fixes on macOS 15.7
• CPU efficiency — no more background spin on long-running sessions

Small 0.2.5 update just went out — polish + Windows parity:
- Menu bar icon now Retina-quality (was noticeably softer than the SF Symbols alongside it on high-DPI displays)
- Floating overlay gets a hover-revealed close button in the top-right corner — hidden while recording so it can't be accidentally clicked mid-capture

There's no way to get AudioRoute to initiate an update while running, is there? It only seems to be an option when it starts up.
(Its not a big deal if its not, I can obviously close and restart; I just want to check Ive not missed anything)

In fact it checks for update on startup and once in 24h. In order to manually update or check for updates - right click (or Ctrl+ click) the tray/menubar icon -> Check for updates. It will show an update prompt if update is available.
Please let me know if you have any issues with it

Doh! I think I previously knew that, and forgot how. Sigh. Cheers again, and sorry for wasting your time.
